Wiki Model 3 Order Tracking Spreadsheet

What direction was it heading

I have seen a few pics of trailers transporting Tesla's lately and none of the cars seem to be protected from the elements/debris while being transported. Typically, manufacturers wrap the cars bumpers, side mirrors, etc. with some sort of film to prevent scratches or rock chips while in transit. Doesn't Tesla do the same for their cars?

Just got my VIN in the source code. Ordered SR+ White/black aero on 10/13.

Anyone know how long from source code VIN to delivery?

Just heard back from my SA. He stated he would estimate my delivery date to be around the 9th or 10th of December. Little disappointing that is still another 3 weeks away.

The wait is excruciating. I can tell you it is worse waiting for your second one after a total loss than waiting for your first one. I can recommend that you should plan and take a vacation. Currently in Costa Rica and this view helps take your mind off the wait!

I dunno. Having all those Velociraptors and a TRex nearby would make me even more anxious!

Is it just me or the tesla app isn’t working yet for new owners? When I placed the order I downloaded the app and it showed me my car image and some tutorials. Now it says your tesla account is not linked with any product.

Call Tesla, this isn’t right. Have you gotten your car? My understanding is your app gets linked about an hour before scheduled delivery. But you should be able to log in.

Spoke to a SA last night at orientation (no great use of time) who mentioned, in reference to booking a factory tour, that half the factory is closed off prepping for model y - it seems that gigafactory 1 is only running at 50%

50% us a huge exaggeration. It's true the plant is expanding its capacity and have added a "mysterious" fifth line. Whether that's for Model Y or trucks, nobody knows for sure.

The plant is at 100% capacity. Last quarter they achieved the goal of 1000 Model 3's/day. This quarter will be larger. Tesla is going gangbusters to deliver as many cars this year as possible. Reducing the factory's capacity at this point makes zero sense.

 

[mabegg]

50% was an assumption on my part in reference to only being able to access half the factory. Having never been there I do not know how many production lines they have.

Well, considering how things have been playing out, I'd be surprised if they weren't LOL. There's always going to be something going on for us 2019Q4 people

They do not. stupid it cost little to do. You just have to hope your car is in between two other cars or all the way against the cab i guess.

Interesting! To your point, it is not costly to do. Given Tesla considers their vehicles luxury sedans/SUVs, I wonder why they chose not to protect them while in transit.

that is very weird. even the vw jettas have paint protection films on the hood and trunk

Potentially good news ahead. I called my SA today for an update. A Tesla delivery manager was in the store at the time. The scoop for California deliveries: All November and prior orders will get VINs by end of November, with delivery in weeks 2 and 3 of December. Hang on bro.

I spoke with my SA today and he said I would get my VIN 1-2 weeks. I placed my order on 10/12.

A confession.
I've never in my life anticipated, yearned and waited for a machine that simply moves me at the end of the day from A to B. I've built up such an unhealthy (at this point) relationship to this delivery I fear I'll be disappointed once i have the car. Anyone has felt this way prior to delivery recently? I don't even have a VIN yet. haha.
I know when the M3 came out a lot of people waited a loooong time for the car. I even remember debating to put a reservation in.

Am I crazy?

No. I've been feeling the same. I think it's a combination of the dopamine release we've attributed towards technology, specifically UI that connects us to the machine efficiently. Not to mention this machine we are discussing happens to be cheap, beautiful, luxurious, overall decent build quality. Clean UI for buzzer beater? Boom.

Couldn't agree more. Though my wife is awfully sick of hearing me talk about it. I have never had this level of anticipation on a large purchase before... Well, except for a suppressor, but that's a different matter... And I'm still waiting more than a year later...
